To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Lovn C. THOMPSON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Canon City, in the county of Fremont and State of Colorado,have invented new and.

. party using the appliance" and bestadapted to throw the light so thatthe operation of shaving may be clearly observed at all times.

The invention contemplates a case of'novel formation, the casecomprising foldable sections which are arranged to be extended and afolding shelf.

The invention consists of the novelfeatures, details of construction andcombination of parts, which hereinafter will be more particularly setforth, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in theappended claim.

Referring to the drawings, forming a part of the s ecification, Figure 1is a. perspective view 0 a shaving case embodying the invention, showingthe parts extended. Fig.

7 2 is a vertical transverse section of the case,

illustrating the mountings therefor in elevation. Fig. 3 is a sectionalview of'the case similar to Fig. 2 having the parts folded and showingthe mountings applied to a wall or like fixed. support. Fig. 4 is a toplan view, the dotted lines showing an a justed position of the casewhen swung horizontally. Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view showin moreclearly the catch and the sections 0% the case for holding the same whenextended. Fig. 6 is a detail view of the lower portion of the body ofthe case, showing more particularly the means for pivotally connectingthe folding shaft thereto.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following descrition, and indicated in all the views of t e drawings, by the samereferencecharacters.

The case comprises two sections A and B, which are hinged at 1 to admitof the section A opening upward and resting upon section B. The sectionsA and B are of similar formation. The body section B comprises :side

pieces 6,. cross pieces 7- and. 8, a

ieces 2, a back 3, a to 4, and a bottom section com rises side a closure9. When the covering section. isclosed, as indicated in Fig. 3, theclosure 9 constitutes 'the front of the case and when the coveringsection is extended, as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2, the closure 9 formsthe back thereof. A mirror 10 is secured tothe inner side of the closure9 and is housed and protected by the case when the latter is closed andis exposed to view when the covering section is extended for use. Themeeting. edges of the side pieces 2 and 6 are inclined and are in thesame plane when the two sections A and B are extended. The body sectionB is provided with. a series of shelves 11 for receiving sundryarticles, such as a brush, comb, the shaving mug, soap, razor, strop,and the like. The bottom 5 and also the cross piece 8 form additionalshelves when the section A is extended. A folding shelf 12 is pivoted.at 13 to the lower forward corner portions of the side pieces 2 and isheld in horizontal position by the rear portion underlapping the forwardportion of the bottom 5. The shelf 12 when folded closes the spacebetween the bottom 5 and the shelf 11 immediately thereabove, asindicated in Fig; 3. The shelf 12 when. folded :5. he covering preventsthe mug or other heavy article placed upon the ttom 5 from coming incontact with the mirror 10' and injuring the same, which would be liableto occur from swinging the case quickly on its support. When thecovering section A is extended it is held 0 en by means of a catch 14,which is secured at its lower end to the back 3 of the section B andhaving an opening near its free end to receive a in 15 extended from thepart 9 of the section A. A finger piece 16 projects laterally from thecatch 14 and is bent to extend along a side of the case to beconveniently engaged by the finger when it is required to release thecatch 14:- from the pin 15 preliminary to folding the sectionA.

The case isprovided near its top and bottom with rearwardly extendingears 17,-

to anypos'ition from the support the ran 'ofadjustment or swing of thebracket 19. In the event of the bracket 19 being hinged to a wall,

artition, or like surface, it is evident that t e bracket may be swungso as to lie close a ainst said wall or supporting surface, wit theresult that the case is caused to lie close against said wall.

and convenience of the person using the a pliance. The bracket 19 may bepivotal y supported or connected to the wall or, like supporting surface1n any manner, and as shown up or and lower brackets 20 are provided andsecured to the wall and their vertical pintles pass through verticalopenings in the upper and lower members of the bracket 19, as indicatedmost clearly in Fi .3. In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2 thecase may be adjusted to any height and for this purpose a stand 21 issupplied and a rod 22 is adjustable within the vertical portion of thestand and is secured in the adjusted position by means of a set screw 23threaded into an opening formed in a side of the stand 21. The bracket19 is mounted upon the rod 22 and may be secured thereon at anyposition. The rod 22 when ad'usted both vertically and angularly maysecured to the stand 21 or like support in any manner, as by means ofthe set screw 23 in the manner well understood.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection the accompanying"drawings, the advanta es of the construction and of the method '0operation will be readily hereto. 7 gular position best adapted to theheight Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new, is 2-A case substantially as herein specified comprising similar sectionswhich "are hingedly connected to admit of one section swinging upwardandover'the other seelion to rest thereon, the relatively fixed sectioncomprising side pieces, a back, and transverse connecting pieces formingshelves and the swinging section comprising side pieces, upper and lowertransverse connecting pieces and a closure, the side pieces of the twosections having their meeting edges inclined, a mirror fitted to theinner side of the closure of the swinging section, and a folding shelfadapted to close the space between two shelves of the fixed sectlon andforming a protector for the mirror applied to the swinging section.
